Our trip down to the New Boston Food Pantry was a huge success. We brought bags upon bags of items to help fill the shelves. Thank you so much for your generous participation. This week with our Wonders program we will be talking and reading about maps and how to use them. What is a compass rose? Why are maps important? How can we use a map to locate places? The book Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney is a great introduction to maps and geography. We will take what we learn about maps in this book and apply it to our own lives. Where is New Boston on the map? How about the state of New Hampshire? Our country...our continent? Our phonics focus continues with tricky digraphs. This week we will learn about ch, tch, wh, and ph. Our spelling words are: whip, whale, catch, match, chin, graph - - many, around, with exposure to: by, place, walk This week in Science we will answer the question: Why are polar bears white? We will be making observations to construct an explanation of why camouflage is helpful to animals. Please remember to send your child with all their snow gear on Thursday: hat, gloves/mittens, jacket, snow pants, boots. It is a good idea to send an extra pair of gloves/mittens and socks. Playing in the snow is so much fun but gloves and socks can sure get wet.
